Already, Clinton has claimed international affairs as a key battleground against Trump, devoting her first major address of the general-election campaign to the topic. And she’s done so for understandable reasons. Foreign affairs is arguably the realm in which she can draw the sharpest contrast with Trump in terms of qualifications. In her national-security speech last week, Clinton noted that she visited 112 countries as secretary of state.
Foreign affairs is also where the stakes of the election seem highest; in her speech, Clinton conjured images of a volatile Trump in the Situation Room, blustering through matters of war and peace with one finger on the nuclear button and another scrolling through Twitter. Plus, it’s where she may be able to peel off some Republican voters. Electing Trump, Clinton said last week, “would undo so much of the work that Republicans and Democrats alike have done over many decades to make America stronger and more secure.”

Only for the ignorant. It's a case of a proven failure against a total unknown. I'd say the unknown has the advantage.
She dominates in the area of foreign policy like Charlie Sheen dominates in the area of moderate behavior.
she personally allowed our people in Libya to die. What kind of foreign policy advantage is that?if she is elected I hope our military changes the results by force before she can ever attain office. She’s got it coming
Well, she is the one who set the middle east and north Africa on fire........
Clinton TOOK advantage of her position as Sec'y of State to line her and Bill's pockets with money they purloined from those who expected to get some return on their “investment.”
Some actually did benefit but most were looking at long range possibilities of a big payoff. Small town mayors and councilmen, guilty of this same graft and crooked dealing are sent to prison. The Clintons brazenly wave this windfall money for speaking engagements in our faces and the media looks the other way.
They are rotten to the core. Always have been!
I’ll take the category Captain Obvious for $100, Alex.
Probably no surprise to anybody, Clinton is living in a fantasy world imo. I call it a late 60s hippie / “power of women” fantasy world.
First, since Trump Organization deals in global real estate, Trump already has successful foreign policy experience in that context.
In fact, at a Trump rally in Florida today, regarding Hillary’s foreign policy experience, if you want to call it that, Trump basically said that as Secretary of State, Hillary was a disaster (my word).
When was the last time Americans set American policy in the ME?
Hillary and nObama both have their agenda’s and some is shared in philosophy. (I think Obama is the larger cash recipient as well as being the most powerful muslim in the world.)
Hillary has been selling arms and support.
All the activity has only strengthened the muslims in their global conquest. Shhhhht. OVER 1 Billion to Iran and nuclear capability???
Relative to Trump, she indeed is much more experienced.
Bill’s re-election had a single foreign-policy vulnerability: He did nothing to help Rwanda.
Now many of us here are ok with that, Africa being what it is, but Hillary’s view was that she was NOT going 2b accused of failing to be PRO-ACTIVE in the face of some rumored ethnic cleansing.
THAT is why when some bleeding hearts with no relatives in the military conjured up the most specious stories about Khaddafi charging around Libya, willy-nilly executing crowds of people rumored to have a single reservation about him, HILLARY TOOK ACTION.
And boy, did she; created her own pop-up CIA, bombed Khaddafi and publicly boasted about it when he met his end LITERALLY with a knife up his nether-regions.
She destroyed Libya AND Syria AND half of Iraq while also abandoning our men in Benghazi, four confirmed but the most recent rumors are that **18* of our guys actually died.
And that’s just the start of it.
Four guys who could answer that, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Christopher Stevens are dead. They died because Clinton didn’t know jack sh*t about Foreign Policies.
Good summary.
The were running guns to the libyans this is a great foregn policy states erson
Short answer?
No.
Long answer?
No. Because she has no Foreign Policy!
CA....
** Does Hillary Really Have the Foreign-Policy Advantage?**
No!
Not only did she allow our ambassador and 3 other brave Americans to die, she destabilized Libya and Egypt, resulting in many more deaths.
She has experience in getting US ambassadors killed. I guess that is enough.
devoting her first major address of the general-election campaign to the topic.
***********************************************
WHAT foreign policy address....she talked about Trump the whole time!!!
Sorry, brain fart Clinton, but Trump is NOT the foreign country!!!
What difference, at this point, does it make?The Atlantic, pretending to be relevant, when it is in fact just another DNC shill sheet.
